Join us at the Georgia Tech observatory on Thursday, March 9th to see the moon and Orion nebula, plus hear a short talk from Dr. Jim Sowell. If you've never been to the observatory, it offers one of the best views of Atlanta and the telescope is impressive in its magnification. The observatory is on top of the Howey Physics building. There is a parking lot (it costs about $5 to park) in front of the building. For driving directions and more information, visit http://www.astronomy.gatech.edu/calendar/index.php.

New Video Series: Understanding the GSE

2/17/2017

 
In order to prepare teachers to use the new Georgia Standards of Excellence, members of our Science Ambassador team and other teacher leaders are being filmed using the new standards with their students. The purpose of these videos is to see each Science and Engineering Practice in action, understanding the expectations of students and teachers. Eventually, all seven practices at each grade level will be filmed. Currently we have two videos available:

Developing and Using Models (ES example):
